The absence of the mid afternoon lurch?
Yesterday I decided to take my vitamins at breakfast and my metformin at lunch. Took the vitamins, then forgot about the metformin (argh...) but about 3:00pm after having a long da without a break since I covered another class during my break, I was chatting with the students and stopped suddenly and said "hey, I'm not tired!". I realized that though I was slightly tired, it wasn't the all encompassing I need to lay on the floor and go to sleep right now tired I tend to get in the afternoon. This also combined with the fact the previous night I didn't get to bed until 3am because I woke up to a swarm of termites in my bedroom (I live in an old historic wooden building) which came from the window which my bed was pushed up against. Cue total freak out. So I would normally be dead beat tired.
Move to last night..I get home, make my dinner, futz about and come 9:30pm can't keep my eyes open and fall asleep in bed. Wake up to my cat singing the song of his people at around 1:30am and can't get back to sleep until 4am. %^&*() cat doing his cat thing at 1:30 am.
So today another experiment. Vitamins in the morning, metformin 1k mg at lunch and dinner and check fatigue levels. It may be I'm so vitamin deficient that this was also causing me to run down. Either way I find it really exciting. I was also thinking about how to avoid my old way of taking for granted good feeling health wise. Like when I start to feel better thinking I'm fine and stop taking my medicine (subconscious thinking I don't need it anymore). I need to get to that place where the inner me accepts it needs the metformin, progesterone, vitamins, healthy eating/drinking for my body to run well. It needs a bit of help.
Doesn't help to have adult responsibilities and then when it comes to your health stick your head in the sand. I'll keep trying to pull mine out.
